Stone Fire Pit Designs That Sizzle!

The popularity of fire pit designs continues to skyrocket,  regardless  of whether it's spring, summer, fall or winter . . . . .

           . . . .  Whether lounging around an inviting
           open fire with family and friends on a  cool
           and breezy summer afternoon . . . . .

. . . or  warming up next to a toasty out-
door blaze on a crisp winter evening, the sights,  sounds  and aroma of a crackling wood fire are truly irresistible!

As man's first building material, natural stone  has  a  primal  appeal unlike any other  material  used to contain one of
the  most  important  discoveries  ever made by humankind -- FIRE!

The multitude of configurations for stone fire pit designs is virtually unlimited. Adding  to  that  nearly  infinite range of looks is a vast array of stone types, sizes, shapes, colors, textures and finishes.

Gas fire pits provide an even wider range of options to create a uniquely per-
sonal look.  For example, the pool-side design pictured below features a fire-
bed of colored glass crystals, from which the flames appear to magically rise!

Similarly,  the  large  fireballs  in  the  upper level of this striking multi-tiered composition  lend  an  aura  of  mystery and enchantment to this warm and inviting fire pit!

In contrast to the "above ground" fire
pit designs pictured up  to  this  point,
the design at right and the three that follow are sunken below grade.    The example shown below left comes com-
plete with dry stone benches for seat-
ing  --  crafted  by the talented mem-
bers of the Dry Stone Wall Association
of  Canada.    On  the  right,  another
stacked  stone  bench and fire pit sur-
round contrasts beautifully with an ex-
pansive brick terrace.

The beautiful flagstone terrace that follows incorporates a sunken fire pit en-
circled by matching stones that have been cut to fit around the perimeter.

Boulders  can  also be used creatively in fire pit designs.  The example at right -- set  on a bed of crushed rock -- utilizes boulders  of  varying  sizes  to surround both the fire pit opening,  as  well as to provide substantial  seating  areas  from which to cozy up to the flames.

The  following  image  captured  by  the talented folks at Roger Wade Studio features  a  striking  --  albeit highly unusual  --  fire pit surround of massive boulders arranged both vertically and horizontally!

And finally, though the bioethanol burner featured here is not made of stone, I've  included  it  because of the stunning arrangement of stones that form a "frame"  around  it.    The huge boulder across the top appears to practically float above the much smaller stones that support it!

the designs pictured above, please
